Real Madrids plans for the transfer window before the start of next season are far from a secret. Their sole aim will be to ensure they do what many expect, and lure Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer after his contract expires.If anybody was in any doubt of their ambitions, Karim Benzema reaffirmed them this week.Kylian Mbappe could be the third star with Vinicius and me? Yes, I say this a lot of times,Benzema told LEquipe of his France team-mate.With Mbappe we get on well because we know what the Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey other is going to do on the pitch. Itsperfect.But on Wednesdays evidence, Los Blancos may not even need to add Mbappe to their ranks to regain the Champions League.Indeed, the argument for Madrid as a team ready to reclaimwhat they see as their rightful place atop European football is an increasingly compelling one after Carlo Ancelottis men took a commanding 3-1 lead in their quarter-final tie with holders Chelsea. It was the ruthle sne s of Benzema that put the Blues to the sword at Stamford Bridge, Madrid clinically taking advantage of the pa sivity of opponents whose exertions in going seven games unbeaten in normal time in all competitions amid a club crisis Nick Jensen Men Jersey appear to be rapidly catching up with them.Madrid followed Brentford, 4-1 winners at the same ground last Saturday, in slicing through a Blues defence who had conceded just two goals in their last five games prior to being stung by the Bees.Chelsea could take some solace insuffering at the hands or, in this case, the head of Benzema in the first half. His pair of deft headers to put Madrid 2-0 up inside 24 minutes were of the highest quality, coming from Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric cro ses that were themselves worthy of great admiration.And, with Kai Havertz halving the deficit, making this fixture the first Champions League knockout gameto see three headers scored in the first half since Bayern Munich versus Porto in the 2014-15 quarter-final, Thomas Tuchels men could afford reason for hope.Chelseas Kody Clark Women Jersey confidence may have been boosted further when Benzema skewed a gilt-edged chance for a hat-trick wide late in the opening period but, soon after the restart, he had his treble, courtesy of a huge inadvertent a sist.Edouard Mendy came way out of his goal to collect an innocuous punt forward and sent his attempted pa s to Antonio Rudiger short. A grateful Benzema intervened and rolled a John Carlson Jersey simple finish into an empty net. It marked a second succe sive Champions League hat-trick from Benzema, following on from his remarkable second-half barrage against Paris Saint-Germain that knocked out Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Me si at the last-16 stage.He became the fourth player to score a hat-trick in back-to-back Champions Leagues appearances afterCristiano Ronaldo (2017), Me si (2016) and Luiz Adriano (2014).This latest prolific display, which took Benzema to 37 goals and 50 goal involvementsfor the season, was in part a product of his enduring brilliance Nic Dowd Jersey and partly a me s of Chelseas own making.But it means he is now on a run of scoring at least two goals in each of his last four goals for Madrid. The only other player to score a brace in four consecutive appearances in the big five European leagues this season? Yes, Kylian Mbappe.There is no striker at this level in a richer vein of form than Benzema and, should he continue his incredible run, the mi sion for Mbappe if he does make the anticipated move to Madrid may not be to re-establish their European superiority, but to maintain it.
